Curriculum Map

In this section you can find out more about the curriculum we deliver in school.  We want our children to enjoy being a learner. We want them to be motivated, inquisitive and relish challenge. We use our curriculum to develop skills of independence and collaboration and give children the confidence to take risks with their learning. We aim to create a safe and nurturing environment in which children have the freedom to explore, enquire and excel and develop a love of learning for the rest of their lives.

Our curriculum map provides details of the areas of learning we focus on throughout the year. We run on a two year rolling programme and more detail about the content of each topic can be found on the class pages. 2017-2018 is Year B in our two year rolling programme.
